| | Poor picture resolution in Window Photo gallery When I view pictures with windows photo gallery the resolution is poor. The contrast is off with very sharp transitions between colors. Kind of like pixelated but on a large scale. I hope I am able to convey what I mean by this description. If I open the same photo in "Picture Viewer" or "Office Picture Manager" the photo looks fine. It is something specific with windows photo gallery. Can anyone lend me some assistance on this so I may view photos with proper resolution/color rendering in windows photo gallery? Thanks |

| | Re: Poor picture resolution in Window Photo gallery John, thank you for your prompt response. I do appreciated it. I checked off the "Use my settings for this device" as you suggested and added the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 and set it as the default. This was in place of the Dell 2407WFP-HC which was the only prior listing and had been of course the default. The change worked immediately. The photos now look great in Window Photo Gallery. Will this setting be expected to have any color effect on other applications/games and if so what should I expect? Again, thank you for your help.
